My favorite Christmas commercials on tv? (No special order)

  • Those Garmin ads. All of the ones I’ve seen so far. I think they get repeated every year? The best so far? The one that ends with a squirrel playing a lute. (To say nothing of the leprechaun.):

    And then there’s the Nutcracker one:

  • I also like the BMW ones where the car zooms off and the red ribbon falls off. Much better than the the other car company Christmas commercials. (Can’t find a You-tube version)

And then there are all of the annoying ones (which I won’t link to) where a bunch of carolers (either visible or just their voice) start singing something some ad exec. thought was clever but really, really isn’t. An ad set to the tune of some Christmas song. Annoying, to say the least.
